How You Can Help Decrease Autism
Consider these three things that you can do now to help.
Everyone Can Do Something
The work to highlight the connection between acetaminophen and autism isn’t done alone. You can help!
​​
There are three tangible ways that you can be an active participant in changing the lives of millions of people; learn, share, and do.
LEARN
There are more than 20 lines of evidence leading scientists to conclude without a reasonable doubt that acetaminophen causes autism in susceptible babies and children. You can learn, share, and advocate for others to know.

SHARE
Amplifying the information you learn about the connection between acetaminophen and autism is a key way to get the word out about how we can decrease the prevalence of autism. You can email your contacts, talk to your friends and family, or share on social media.
We have created a variety of digital content for exactly this shareable purpose. You can find digital content on our website or by sharing our content on the social media of your choice.
9 IN 10
children could be helped
1 IN 36
children with autism
According to the CDC in 2023, there are now 1 in 36 children with autism. By changing the way we treat the administration of acetaminophen to babies and children, it’s plausible that more than 9 out of 10 children could live without autism.
You can make a huge impact!
DO
Make a Plan, Before Your Child Needs Help
This may seem simple, but those critical moments where you or a loved one must see a child suffer, are the times when we react out of emotion, not based on our knowledge or convictions. Making an action plan for what you will do to mitigate pain and fevers will be a critical tool in your arsenal.
We can't give medical advice, but you can peruse additional resources for other suggestions and options.
